A/C & P/S delete & Serpentine Belt Thread

Ahh, OK, I see what's going on.

Some of the local MK 3 1800 CLs came without a/c and got that bracket but there's not many of those about. The a/c version above is far more common.

Kinda, I think.

The setup i've got has the alternator with a spring under it to tension the belt. How come yours has a seperate tensioner?

From memory (it is almost 2am here) the alternator sits closer to the water pump than your setup ie lower.

Ahhh..

oops, beat me to it!

See above

Almost every MK3 model here came with airconditioning, so those brackets are like hen's teeth in these parts. I didn't realise you were posting from the UK.

If you want, I can find out how much to ship a few of these to Oz? there's qite a few in the local scrappy.

Thanks, I'm sure a few would take you up on the offer but we'd need the alternator too and shipping rates on that sort of weight from the UK to Australia are notoriously expensive, hence the local innovations

Be sure to pop up a few pics when you're done so we can see how your solution all fits together.

To remove the crank pulley, is it just the 4 allen head bolts or is it the HUUUGE bolt as well?

Went to get a pulley from a scrapper and the pulley wouldn't come off!
